AB  - Groups of flounder (Platichthys flesus) females were collected in 2011 from the 
      Vistula River and the Duoro River estuaries and corresponding reference sites in 
      the southern Baltic Sea and Portuguese coast of the Atlantic Ocean to measure and 
      compare the levels and profiles of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 
      organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). The 
      estuaries' sediments were also investigated. Several differences were found in 
      the POPs between the estuaries and between the two marine regions, which were 
      highlighted by PCA. The Vistula River estuary POPs, significantly higher than in 
      the Douro River estuary, were dominated by DDTs followed by PCBs. PBDEs levels, 
      indifferent between the estuaries, were relatively low. The POP levels in 
      flounder and sediment evaluated against environmental assessment criteria (EACs) 
      indicated that none of the measured contaminants for which EAC had been 
      established exceeded the criterion, except for CB-118 in flounder from the 
      Vistula River estuary.
